Writing a simple address book in python

[Dipak Singh]

Hi All,
I am learning python by myself. I have some knowledge about C. But What I need to give output for an addressbook using python is(By taking user input) :

Name Mobile Address
abc 123 xyz

Further if I append some entries in the book like
mno 456 stu

I need the address book to get updated and displayed as:

Name Mobile Address
abc 123 xyz
mno 456 stu


But as I am new to python, I am not able to properly align the entries. Kindly help. The code written by me is attached. Thanks in advance for any help.

Please note: this is not a school homework!!!
Regards,
Dipak Kr. Singh

There is more than one way to format in Python. See 5.6.2 here for specific info.

test_list = [['abc', '123 xyz'], ['mno', '456 stu']]
for person in test_list:
    print "%-5s  %-10s" % (person[0], person[1])

You can make a dictionary, the key will be the name and the value the address withing a list.
